Building a Video Editing Beast with an Unconventional GPU Choice
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 жов 2023
- Hello there and welcome to my video. In today's video, I'll be building my new video editing workstation that uses the Intel Arc A750 I purchased for the sake of testing. I didn't expect the A750 to be as great at video editing as it is, but it was amazing at it. So amazing, in fact, that it sparked me to spend another ~$950 on parts to build myself a new editing workstation!

I am officially broke.
Also, this system exported this 13 minute and 37 second video in 4K at 30FPS encoded with AV1 in a mere 3 minutes flat. That's genuinely insane.
Oh and I enabled XMP, don't worry about leaving a comment regarding that!
Insane performance!
You are the only other person I can remember (besides myself) that uses Patrick Patrikios' song Beyond as background audio. 👍🏽
did it with the Arc a770 last year liked it so much I am building a balanced intel build around one this month. Because your 12900k has onboard graphics and the Arc also supports intels Deep Link Technology Davincii Resolve Studio makes use of that to speed up render times dramatically.
@@OG_Gamers_Live I use DaVinci as well. Always been an AMD guy (and Nvidia GPU) even though the onboard CPU graphics in the AMD does diddly when working in Resolve. I'm going to wait until 15th Gen comes out to build an all Intel rig being 13\14 is at the end and going AM5 doesn't help.

What a terrific video, I really enjoyed. I know all about the hardware and assembling a PC, but I must say you explained your way through this perfectly. Kudos. You also made almost the same hardware choices as me. I got a 12700K a 1 year ago, and are now looking to get the Intel ARC A750 LE.
awesome rig!
1:15 OMG what a sick price!!!
Great Video as always
This card is a beast for video editors!
That is a great deal on the Mobo/CPU/RAM
Been loving your style and tempo last few vids since i subbed a bit ago :3 keep it up
maybe think of a snappy channel name!!
Yeah, a better channel name is on the books for some oint! Naming things is hard though, haha
7:04 though in theory it should be fine to hold the cooler to carry the board, i dont like it. it's still tension on the board itself.
I've just moved back to Windows after using a Mac Mini M1. The M1 runs Resolve extremely well and I never had any issues with regards to video editing performance! Now I have AMD Ryzen 7 5700G, ASUS TUF Gaming B550M-PLUS and 32 ram. Resolve will not run well at all and is totally useless. So can I ask do you think me adding a Arc 750 will make editing possible again? Loving the channel by the way.
Happy to hear that you're enjoying my channel!
I've heard amazing things about Apple silicon, especially in video editing workloads. I'd wager that the reason that Resolve runs so poorly on your Ryzen 7 system is due to the lack of a dedicated graphics card. Resolve loves dedicated GPU compute, and especially dedicated VRAM, neither of which an iGPU is oftentimes able to provide sufficiently.
Adding an A750 to your Ryzen 7 system would almost certainly make Resolve run notably better, however I can't speak as to whether or not that system would be able to outperform the M1 because of how unreasonably good Apple silicon is in these kinds of productivity workloads. If you can get it from a place with a good return policy, I'd give it a go! If it doesn't meet your expectations, you could send it back.
I've been having a pretty great experience with this system in the past 6-ish months I've been using it, so if you're able to give the A750 a try, it will probably make a big difference, at least I'd think it would.
@@CompHwTipsAndTutorials Thanks for the advice and yes apple M1 is an amazing powerhouse for any production work. Resolve run without a single problem and is always super fast and smooth even with just 8GB of Ram. However the problem with macs is the limited ungrade options I only have 265GB of HD space and that's simply now not enough hence why I'm moving back to windows. External M.2 drives seem to run far slower on macs vs Windows so that's yet another reason to change systems. I'll order the the Acr 750 from Amazon they have a excellent return policy. Good luck with the channel and thans for the advice.
@@tezzatelhe's 100% right abut needing a dgpu for resolve. The 750 is not generally very fast for 4k but it's is absolutely phenomenal in a plex /home server configuration. I put an a380 in my 1u server and it's a mini beast at streaming everything I want
Damn, i didnt know the arc cards were that good at that stuff. it really makes me consider putting one in my system as a secondary card for encoding/editing. any idea if resolve would freak out if i tried to use the combined power of an arc card + a 4070ti? ive played a bit with using multiple nvidia gpu's for resolve, but not multiple brands. Great video as well!
Thanks for the kind words! I've never tried using two GPUs at once in DaVinci, so I'm really not certain if it will or won't play well. I did try to put it in my main system with my 6950XT, and apart from the 6950XT overheating instantly, things seemed to be fine. Though, that is a limited test so I can't say for certain.
Gotcha. When i tried it with the 2 Nvidia cards, it worked and scaled pretty well, even considering they were from different generations. If i get my hands on an amd or arc card ill have to try it out. Maybe if you get your hands on another a750 it would be interesting to see if the performance scales well on those cards? Could be interesting.
hey this is the exact setup I'm about to build but I also want to do light gaming with it (1080p 144hz on cpu intensive game). Have you tried a few games on it?
I haven't done any gaming on this system with the 12900k, but I do have a video testing the A750 in my other PC which has an overclocked 11900k if you'd be interested in that!
Seeing the Resolve performance, for that and for vMix/OBS, would you say the ARC 750 is good value? Say, compared to a mid range Quadro? I'm looking for great decode/encode performance for multiple IP based cameras.
I've found it to be pretty good value for a video encode/decode card. I can't say too much regarding how it would perform handling several live camera streams, but it's definitely worth a shot, and I'd probably expect decent performance from it. The one thing the Quadro would have over it would likely be NVENC support, which I've heard is outstanding.
Additionally, I'd assume that based on the use case you've described it would be in a bit of a server application. I'm not sure what OS you're running, but if it's Linux, it might be a little more iffy for the Arc card because I've heard the Linux drivers, while getting a lot better, are still not quite on the level of the Windows ones. Though, then again, I've heard that Nvidia has been horrible to work with in regard to Linux support so I can't say for sure.
@@CompHwTipsAndTutorials Ideal use case is a fast PC with vMix on Win10, to live switch and stream multi-camera sporting events - we use IP based cameras in fixed locations where it would be too dangerous to have a camera operator, but where the shot looks fantastic.
And if a racercar wipes out an IP camera, we can afford to replace it a lot easier then an ENG camera, tripod, health insurance claim,... nVenc in an A4000 should be good to send h.264 or 265 to youtube, but if the ARC 750 or 770 is one third the price and will encode AV1 to higher quality for the same available upload bandwidth, the viewer will get better vision, even on thier phones with the usual 720p mobile streams delivery.
Yeah, the AV1 on the Arc cards will give much better quality at even a lower bandwidth. Most of my videos were in h.265 at 4k30 before I got the Arc, and the files were often within the 5-10GB range. With the new Arc card, a same length video at 4k30 would be about 500MB-1.5GB, and I found that the video quality was either identical or slightly better, so AV1 is truly awesome!
Always wanted to do a blue build, but just can’t get with E-Cores.
Fair enough, I do honestly wish that they'd just do all full-size cores. The E-Cores thing really only makes sense imo for a laptop system, where power efficiency is much more of a concern
Kinda unusual, core i9 pair with ARC A750. But at least, it still can run well
Uncommon for a gaming system, but as an editing system, a very smart pairing as video editors use lots of CPU!
I looked on Pugetsystems benchmark results, the A770 seems mediocre.
How many frames are you able to render in Resolve Studio at 4k60 10bit H265?
My current 1080ti and 8700k, I can do between 90-110fps.
My laptop 13900HX and 4070 can do 90-120fps.
All using NVENC.
Well, I can't give you any h.265 numbers because I mainly chose this card for the sake of ditching h.265. I render all of my videos in AV1, and in AV1 this system is able to export about 150 FPS at 4k30 (in DaVinci ofc)
@@CompHwTipsAndTutorials That's not bad
Bro du u suggest this arc a750 or rtx 3060 for video editing in davinci using a lot of fusion?
I don't know if I have enough knowledge on the 3060's performance in DaVinci to make a recommendation, I'd recommend looking for some videos by other youtubers who have tested it though!
Halo bro i am asking that the cooler master 550w psu (80plus)(non modular) can connect to this gpu
If it has an 8-pin and a 6-pin PCIe power connector on it, it should be able to connect (you can find this out on most product pages for these power supplies). Though, I might prefer to get a little more wattage than 550W, as the card itself draws about 225W and with the rest of the system added in, there isn't going to be much headroom. A 650W, or even better, a 750W would be much better.
Why do modern CPUs have strange thread amount?
I have wondered about this as well. My guess is that only the P-cores have hyper threading. This would also explain why AMD chips all (to my knowledge) have the normal amount of threads, as Ryzen does not have P and E cores.
These Intel CPUs have Performance (P) and Efficiency (E) cores. The P cores have hyper threading, the E cores don't. With this CPU, it's got 8 P cores and 8 E cores, so 16 + 8= 24 threads. Hope that helps!
@@CompHwTipsAndTutorials Better explained than my explanation! Good job!
What is the price of this pc?


I believe that after the bundle deal, it cost ~$1100 US
